Hi All
I'm a long time member, first time poster, looking for a little knowledge/experience. I may be in a bit of a pickle.
I am currently building a trial/comp motor having bought a part finished project (rolling chassis & space frame). I acquired separately an 4.0 V8 and auto box out of a Disco 2 from my Uncle. With the engine and box I was informed I had everything necessary to make the thing run i.e. all the electronic gubbins. The engine and box are now in and the original Disco harness wired up. Missing from my little engine package was the BCU, there was also no instrument cluster or ignition barrel. I bought a BCU, instrument cluster and ignition barrel from another Disco via ebay.
So, everything connected up, turn the key, ignition comes on and the binnacle lights up. However it appears that the immobiliser is in operation, preventing the starter from turning the engine over and presumably also cutting the fuel (pump connected but no tank yet).
I do not have the EKA code for the BCU that I have bought or indeed the VIN or registration number. I do have the VIN and registration relating to the engine and box donor.
Am I buggered? Hopefully not!
Thanks to anyone who can shed any light on this.
Matt
